Still getting another 1070 could be a good opportunity to boost your system at reduced price for few more years, I mean you don't have to buy the 2 cards dirrectly but get one now and the other one later when your comp starts struggling, it'll cost even less money.

and by that time both cards will be outdated and another single GPU would come out and destroy this SLI config. Seriously, it's pointless. It's like having 970 right now and waste like 170$ to buy another one, whilst dealing with higher power consumption, higher temps, noise and 4 Gigs of VRAM - just like Amco mentioned.

A benchmark is a score calculated by analyzing your system performances while being pushed at their maximal capacity: Bench (like the cars bench we use to define the HP after engine modifications) Mark (a score, like a mark on a school test).

The higher the (bench)mark is, the mightier is your PC and able to handle heavy softwares and last gen videogames.

it would be great if they could actually use that raw GPU performance, we'd probably not need to change any gpu before the next 30 years at least (with a 1080Ti), that'd justify spending 800€ for it in a time electronics usually comes obsolete after 4 or 5 years.

its not dangerous but you could encounter thermal throttle during games when the processor underclocks itself
that happens at 83 degree or so also your bios could turn the pc off. it would be interesting at what Vcore your cpu operates

i am wondering for what price you purchased the 1070, since the 1080 only costs you 80€ more new right at the moment

so i was good at guitar hero and then grabbed a real guitar and became musician - Post Malone

400 bucks, Gaming Z edition

I checked the net and they told the cpu could throttle at 100°c, i'm currently playing the 2015's NFS in ultra and I have no issue at all, I OCed my cpu at 4.5ghz with the mobo's preset. I'll check what HWMonitor says once i'm done and if the temp exceeds 85°c I will downclock it back to its factory value

Actually besides growing benchmark values I feel no difference in game
